Thomas Browne
Charity But how shall we expect charity towards others, when we are uncharitable to ourselves? Charity begins at home, is the voice of the world yet is every man his greatest enemy, and, as it were, his own executioner.
Thomas Browne
Were the happiness of the next world is as closely apprehended as the felicities of this, it were a martyrdom to live.
Thomas Browne

Thomas Browne

Thomas Browne
Affection should not be too sharp eyed, and love is not made by magnifying glasses.
Thomas Browne
Think not thy time short in this world, since the world itself is not long. The created world is but a small parenthesis in eternity, and a short interposition, for a time, between such a state of duration as was before it and may be after it.
Thomas Browne
That some have never dreamed is as improbable as that some have never laughed.
Thomas Browne
I have often admired the mystical way of Pythagoras, and the secret magick of numbers.
Thomas Browne
Let age, not envy, draw wrinkles on thy cheeks.
Thomas Browne
Oblivion is not to be hired.
Thomas Browne
There is something in us that can be without us, and will be after us, though indeed it hath no history of what it was before us, and cannot tell how it entered into us.
Thomas Browne
